“You see some classes of the human family that are black, uncouth, uncomely, disagreeable and low in their habits, wild, and seemingly deprived of nearly all the blessings of the intelligence that is generally bestowed upon mankind....Cain slew his brother. Can might have been killed, and that would have put a termination to that line of human beings. This was not to be, and the Lord put a mark upon him, which is the flat nose and black skin.” HumansHas BeensMightBlackLinesHuman BeingsLordClassMankindBrotherHabitBlessingLowsSkinsMarkNosesFlatsMight Have BeenDeprivedDisagreeablePriesthoodCainHuman FamilyMormonismTerminationUncouthBlack Skin Author:Brigham Young
“The color of the prisoner's skin, and the form of his features, are not impressed upon the spiritual immortal mind which works beneath. In spite of human pride, he is still your brother, and mine, in form and color accepted and approved by his Father, and yours, and mine, and bears equally with us the proudest inheritance of our race - the image of our Maker.

“Ironically, there is a history of black/Irish communion here in the states; Irish and African American brothers and sisters have often found common cause in fighting the bigotry both communities faced earlier in the 20th century. However, white skin privilege among the Irish separated them from blacks, who had no such advantage to fall back upon. The solution is to fight bigotry and racism wherever they appear, and to root out the forces of oppression as conscientiously as possible.” FallFightingBlackCommunityCommonBrotherRacismSolutionsSkinsOppressionAfrican AmericanBigotryCommunion20th CenturyBrothers And SistersFall Back Author:Michael Eric Dyson
